Kesari review
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film reads, “Akshay gives it his all in climax of this film, likely his best scene in the entire movie. His commanding screen presence is tapped into very well by director Karan in Kesari Chapter 2. Ananya Panday as budding lawyer Dilreet Gill complements Akshay wonderfully. There’s some scope for improvement in the emotional scenes, though. R Madhavan, as advocate Neville McKinley holds his own in front of Akshay.”
Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh stars Akshay as C. Sankaran Nair, who fought against the British Raj to uncover the truth about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, R. Madhavan as Advocate Neville McKinley, and Ananya Panday as Dilreet Gill.
The film is a historical courtroom drama directed by Karan Singh Tyagi in his directorial debut, and produced by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape of Good Films.
